While creating our GDPR compliance database I've had the unusual (in my case) opportunity to create a FileMaker 16 (16.0.5.500) database from scratch on my Mac, I normally work on Windows via app streaming customising our standard SaleFaith CRM systems. It has been nice not having to worry about legacy themes and formatting.
It is interesting to see just how critical the position of an object in an object still is, possibly slightly worse than on Windows, and the design compromise/adjustments that are necessary on both platforms.
I got the normal infuriating portal showing through all tabs and having to nudge it one way or the other, or put more distance between the vertical or horizontal edges than I wanted. This has been going on since version 12 and really should have been fixed by now.
However, adding text to popovers to act as on screen help/tooltips has been interesting. We've no padding around the text but I've found it impossible to select the first line entered when trying to edit existing text, in fact the only way I've found of doing this reliably is to double click the third line of text, which does enter the text cursor and then use the arrow keys, but anything above this just selects the overall text box and/or brings up the Popover Button Setup window. No problem selecting the end of the text, only the top.
Then if the text is too close to the popover content vertical or horizontal edges, during opening, an annoying vertical or horizontal scroll bar appears that doesn't look good. Increasing the size of the popover a little or decreasing the height or width of the text will remove this and speed up the opening of the popover. I believe these scroll bars also display on Windows, but I haven't tried editing them in layout mode to see if this is Mac specific. I've attached a screen shot having reduced the size of the popover to demonstrate.
These are small issues, but do have a significant productivity hit when setting up the amount popover help objects something like the GDPR system needs (I will check whether this has been reported on 'Report a Problem')

For my 1 Swedish Krona, this is what I think is the problem
If you have a Theme and the have local objects that are not save 100% to your local theme then things loads one thing at the time for each level of that themes layout levels.
In Firefox there used to be a 3D tool in there Developers Box where you in WebDirect could see all layers of a FileMaker layout
The first 15-20 green layers you can do nothing about, that is just pure FM. Then comes a red line that is your base Theme. From there and above is what you can affect. Having local formated objects with Conditional Formatting like in this case is by far the worse thing since that then gives you 13 layers (the orange layer) about your start layer.
What is even worse, if I then have chosen to use a font that is not web safe, FWD would have had to load standard web font for that chosen standard browser giving us more things to load.
In your case I think that you have Local Objects that needs to be saved into your theme.
